Guy Bonds With Strangers Over "Magic" Bread With Lengthy Expiration Date


Guy bonds with strangers over long with unusually long sell-by date.

There's something about breaking magic bread with strange drunks that seems almost weirdly biblical. That or this stranger just didn't have enough money for bread and tricked this guy into a free snack. This sounds small and dumb but two months is a long time for bread. Sadly, leaving bread out like that will probably cut its days shorter than expected. For another petty and stupid food story, here's a reporter who kept winning office chili cook-offs with store bought chili.

Devious and Horrible Products and Ads Designed to Manipulate People


Bad products and advertisements that manipulate consumers.

Ideally, the buyer/seller relationship should be one where upfront sellers provide a valuable product or service to people who are happy to pay for it. This is often not the case. In reality it can be a one-sided war between companies and consumers, with companies trying every underhanded tactic they can come up with to inconvenience, scare and manipulate their own customers into overpaying for horrible products. Seriously, these products and ads were designed by jerks.

Impatient Customer Builds Deck Around Dying Tree, Ends Up Costing Him


Impatient customer builds deck around dying tree and it falls and costs more money.

Why does nobody listen to experts? The tree removal company told this guy what the deal was, he didn't listen, and lo and behold, gets to pay more money for a tree and a deck. Customers can get pretty dumb, like the time this landscaper handily dealt with a customer who demanded her kids get her discount.

Outlandish Lies that Kids Told Other Kids


Tweets of outrageous lies kids told each other.

What can we say? Kids are dumb. Growing up, everyone had that kid at school who tried to get away with as much BS as possible. Sometimes a kid tried to convince everyone else he had a pet dinosaur, or that his dad was a secret agent. And since we were all kids and no one knew better, sometimes we'd go on believing these idiotic lies for days before that same kid's dad picked him up from school in his catering truck. Lying to kids seems to be a big part of the human experience, hence these adults who are still salty about the unjust lies they were told as kids. Some people are just dumb and try lying to their healthcare professionals. And some people still try to lie online just for fake internet points.

Christmasy Tale Of Choosing Beggar's Quest For Free Journal


A Christmas-themed tale of an entitled woman's quest for a free coffee shop journal.

This customer decided to intervene on an entitled woman's irritating quest to lock down a sticker (for a free coffee journal) by ultimately doubling back and taking the sticker she'd originally turned down. The only way she could've rubbed it in the entitled customer's face more would've been to eat the sticker in front of her. Sheesh.

Cartoonist Illustrates Star Wars Prequels with Actual Emotional Depth


Cartoonist rewrites Anakin's story for Star Wars Prequels with emotional depth.

While it's pretty generally agreed the Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace has some pretty big problems, and doesn't communicate its story well, award winning cartoonist Faith Erin Hicks made a really interesting version of Anakin's story. While it might not completely redeem the "ruined childhoods" of people who didn't like the prequels, it does something to fix the movies. For another star wars thing, here's a guy who set the record straight on a common misreading of Luke Skywalker.
